Over the last 6 months, we’ve reviewed a lot of ways that you can win with money. We’ve discussed debt elimination, investment strategies and how to increase your income. And today, we’re going to review a topic that is important to a lot of people out there. We’re going to chat about how you can have a career you truly love.

Food … Evidently, you need it to live. Fine, fine, fine … As frugal as I am, I still like living. But why does it take up so much of my monthly budget?!

We are currently spending around $900 per month on average on our grocery bill. This includes things like toiletries, paper towel and laundry detergent. I find this number to be way too flippin’ high for my liking!

For the new year holiday weekend, my family drove up to Marquette, Michigan to spend some quality time with my sister and her family. A winter trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan might not sound like the thrill of a lifetime to some, but for us Marquette is our family’s little slice of heaven.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 1 million people in the United States get cancer each year. Globally, that number rises to around 15 million people.

As sad as those statistics are, they are just that … only statistics. Until cancer effects you, your family or someone close to you, you don’t realize the seriousness of the disease. At least that was the case with me.

I’m a pretty solid sleeper. In fact, I come from a long family line of “immediate sleepers”. We lay down on the pillow and, in less than 10 seconds, we’re fast asleep. Now … leaping tall buildings or flying would be cool, but I’ll settle for falling asleep quickly as my super power.

Earlier this year, my brother-in-law suggested I listen to Tim Ferriss Show since I was getting into podcasts. He enjoyed his random topics, high profile guests and Tim’s irreverent humor. I gave it a try and I’ve been enjoying it a lot.

Tim usually has guests on the podcast that have incredible backgrounds like life coaches (Tony Robbins), best selling authors (Seth Godin) and oscar winning actors (Jamie Foxx, Edward Norton). He interviews these guests and dissects their daily habits to learn more about why they are so successful.
